Card-Toon #1
Quite possibly the most charming card trick ever invented! The cards rush by one at a time, and the drawings become an animated cartoon!

A spectator names any card. You then show that each card in your deck has a little stick-figure magician drawn on it. The cards rush by one at a time, and the drawings become an animated cartoon! The stick-figure pulls a card from his top hat and turns it over to reveal the spectatorï¿½s named card!

Card-Toon is an awesome effect and one you should definitely think about if interested in the
illusion. However, I give it 3 stars because if you are interested in this effect, I would say
Card-Toon 2 is a better investment than this one.

Card-Toon is an animated effect on cards
which is it's real strength. People are pulled off the method because the effect is just such a fun
a cool thing to watch. For this reason, Card-Toon 2 is better because the animation is much more
detailed and fun to watch. There's a lot more going on there. Also, I'm not sure if this is still
the case, but when I got Card-Toon 1 it came on a cheaper card stock (I think Hoyle brand cards). My
Card-Toon 2 came on traditional Bicycle brand card stock, which is much better, wears much better,
and looks more natural (since I use red Bicycle cards for performance anyway).

This is a
great effect and a genius idea for a trick. I'd just recommend Card-Toon 2 over this one.

I love the trick. I've always loved it but now the quality of the cards they use to make the effect
is lousy.
No plastic finish. Really poor quality card stock. I wasn't expecting Bicycle or Hoyle
but I certainly wasn't expecting what I got.
Saddened a little.

Do you need both Card-Toon #1 and Card-Toon #2? I'm going to say probably not. With that in mind,
stick with #2. The two effects are exactly the same, except the flip-book animation is different...
and the version on #2 is much better and it's pretty funny too. This one is ok, but with the 2nd
version, it's pretty much obsolete now.

For a long time I hesitated to buy this trick. I finally pulled the trigger and couldn't be
happier. This card trick is different enough that it gets people's attention. Easy to do, hard to
mess up, gets good reactions and can be performed for kids and adults. Well worth it.

I think this is a good trick, which is why I gave it 3 stars. It's not GREAT or a must have, but it
gets awesome reactions from some people and, "Oh how cute," from others. I probably won't use it
that much but it's worth getting if you want something fun and don't expect the earth to move.
